TORONTO, Jan. 10, 2018 /CNW/ - Nuuvera Inc. ("Nuuvera")
(TSXV: NUU) announced today that it has signed Greg Taylor, co-founder of Steam Whistle
Brewing, as president of Nuuvera Canada.
Taylor will be responsible for establishing Nuuvera's presence
across the country in both medical and recreational markets.
Lorne Abony, the CEO of Nuuvera,
said that Taylor's expertise and talent will provide an immediate
boost to Nuuvera's Canadian operations.
"I could not be more excited to have Greg Taylor join our team," said Abony. "We knew
we needed someone with an intimate understanding of Canadian
consumers as well as the creativity and vision needed to establish
Nuuvera as the premier brand in the new legalized cannabis market.
In Greg, we are very lucky to have found both."
Taylor said that the opportunity to work with Nuuvera's
exceptional team at the beginning of Canada's cannabis industry was too good an
opportunity to pass up.
"This is a tremendous opportunity," said Mr. Taylor. "It is an
exciting time to be working in the cannabis industry, as there is
no greater opportunity for a company than at the outset of a new
market. I look forward to working with Nuuvera to set the standard
for high quality cannabis products in Canada and around the world."
Taylor studied Economics at the University
of Toronto and has worked in the media, technology, and
micro-brewing industries, becoming Vice President of Sales for The
Upper Canada Brewing Company. In 1998, he established Nelson Cash
Systems, an Automated Banking Machine (ABM) company, and then went
on to found Steam Whistle Brewery.
Taylor has been recognized with many business leadership awards,
including Entrepreneur of the Year in Ernst and Young's
annual competition, "Food in Canada's" 2016 Industry Leadership Award, the
Toronto Region Board of Trade 2016 Business Leader of the Year, and
